The Bayelsa State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has rejected the ruling by the Supreme Court which sacked its candidate David Lyon as the duly elected governor of the state.
During a media briefing by APC stalwarts and other stakeholders in the state, the party which faulted the development said that it completely rejects the Supreme Court judgement which it described as procured, stating further that the ruling was not the wish of Bayelsans.
Speaking at the conference on Thursday evening, a member representing Southern Ijaw Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Preye Oseke, described the judgement by the Supreme Court as shocking and procured.
Oseke who argued that based on the pronouncement of the court, Diri was not qualified to be sworn-in as he failed to meet the constitutionally required geographical spread in the election also warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), against issuing the PDP candidate a certificate of return as the winner of the November 16 governorship election.
He said: “As a people and party, we are rejecting the judgement completely. It is a procured judgement. While we have our respect for our revered justices, we believe that this is not the wish of Bayelsans.
